If you thought Vuarnet sunglasses were fashion relics from the 80s, you’d be mistaken. The high technology the brand features in all its frames and lenses is still revered by sports enthusiasts looking for perfect vision while practicing their favorite activity, whether it be golf, sailing, driving or skiing.

Among all the options on offer in the Vuarnet catalog, today we want to talk you about VL1315 Glacier. As the brand itself states: “Avant-garde in style, this is a pioneering model which is the summation of the Vuarnet brand today”.

If we had to explain the firm’s philosophy in a few words, we would say that it blends technical quality with the finest details, taking the best of its alpine heritage to make it suitable for everyday life in the city. Well, this is also the perfect description for the spirit behind VL1315 Glacier.

The VL1315 Glacier is available at onlylens.com in six colors, each of which features different lenses with different advantages. For instance, Greylynx is perfect for driving, since it allows you to see traffic lights and road signs in their true colors, while Brownlynx provides a deep field of vision, enhancing brightness and accentuating contrast, making it especially useful to make out obstacles more clearly. Then there is the blue model, which features the SX1000 polarized lens. All of them, though, are mineral lenses, providing perfect optical quality with no distortion and making them very scratch- and shock-resistant.

The VL1315 Glacier include leather side shields that can be adjusted thanks to a cleverly concealed magnetic button that fastens them to the temples to ensure better protection. These shields are detachable, so you can remove them if it is extremely hot, the sun is not so bright or you simply prefer a less “adventurer” look. They also include a detachable leather neck cord. As you can see, distinctive details that guarantee the best vision while making you look great, whether you are whooshing down the mountains, maneuvering your car around the city streets, setting sail in the summer breeze or perfecting your drive on the fairway.
